Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Qatar is 6.70, compared to 7.16 for Iran. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency.

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Qatar have contributed 2 goals and 0 assists this season, led by Hassan Khalid (2G). Iran's starters account for 2 goals and 3 assists, spearheaded by S. Azmoun (2G).

Midfield Control

Qatar field 11 midfielders averaging 6.70, versus Iran's 11 rated 7.16. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages —% for Qatar and 43% for Iran. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Qatar's starters have collected 1 yellow cards this season, compared to 2 for Iran. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Qatar's starting XI is 34.2 (youngest: Mohammed Muntari (32), oldest: Boualem Khoukhi (35)), while Iran average 32.7 (youngest: S. Azmoun (30), oldest: E. Hajsafi (35)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Qatar's starters average 6 league appearances each, versus 5 for Iran. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
